Route Fifty is honored to recognize these 10 outstanding individuals and teams working in or with state and local governments.

We were so pleased to announce our 10 winners from the 2017 Navigator Awards program during a great ceremony Wednesday night at the Mint Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina, which is currently hosting the National League of Cities annual City Summit.

Earlier this year, Route Fifty sought nominations for individuals and teams working in or with state and local governments to implement great ideas and deliver impactful services in the communities they serve.

Out of that pool of nominations, we selected 50 finalists across five categories: Government Allies and Cross-Sector Partners; State and Local Executive Leadership; Agency and Department Leadership; Next Generation; and Data and IT Innovators.

Out of those 50 finalists, we selected 10 winners, two per category. We’re honored and proud to recognize the following 10 individuals and teams, listed below.
